According to Polisario-Confidential sources and less than three weeks after the departure of UN secretary-General’s Personal Envoy to the Western Sahara, Mr. Peter Van Walsum, it seems that Christopher Ross will be his successor as mediator in the Sahara issue.

Emphasis mine. Polisario Confidential must be sharing sources with Agence France-Presse, but no matter--they know the next president of Afghanistan.

The very skilful ambassador of the United States to the UN, Zalmay Khalilzad probable candidate to the presidency… of Afghanistan, has led the negotiations between Morocco and Algeria and tried to identify a new envoy on what the parties could agree on.

Will, beware. I'm as tough as a Gouda cheese. Most Moroccans in Holland I know of are from the Rif and some come from the Souss. So Dutch Moroccans are mostly from Berberorigin. Btw. The spy-story in Holland is getting bigger for a criminal investigation will be held and there are cries about revoking his dutch passport - a measure not used before but an old desire of the anti-immigration crowd.

Spy-update: now is revealed a few months ago two Moroccan diplomats have been withdrawn after a complaint about the affair. (Not so special. This happens from time to time; also a CIA-officer has this year been withdrawn after a complaint was filed about his illegal activities.) But the Moroccan community is somewhat upset. A guy called Fouad El Haji unveiled he has been invited by the Moroccan spy agency to join them. And this seems to be standard procedure for any Moroccan in a good position. Also former member of parliament Ali Lazrak is said to have been approached. Loyalties are being questioned. Secretary of State Aboutaleb denies any contact. And then we have member of dutch parliament Khadija Arib who is also member of an advisory board to King M6 about migrants issues. Complicated no?!
